REPORT SCOPE
INTRODUCTION
In October 2010, two University of Manchester (U.K.) scientists, Andre Geim
and Konstantin Novoselov, were awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in physics for
their research on graphene. Graphene is a one-atom-thick sheet of carbon
whose strength, flexibility, and electrical conductivity have opened up new
horizons for high-energy particle physics research and electronic, optical,
and energy applications.
Potential electronics applications of graphene include ultrasmall transistors,
superdense data storage, touch screens, and wearable electronics. In the
energy field, potential applications include ultracapacitors to store and
transmit electrical power, and highly efficient solar cells.
Some researchers argue that graphene's greatest potential lies in its ability
to conduct light as well as electricity. They believe that graphene can
improve the efficiency of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and aid in the
production of next-generation devices like flexible touch screens,
photodetectors, and ultrafast lasers.
STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
This report is an updated version of an earlier BCC Research report published
in 2011. Since that time, the graphene field has continued to develop
rapidly, and BCC believes that an update that covers the most recent advances
in graphene technologies and applications will be useful to readers.
Graphene offers seemingly endless possibilities. However, intuition alone
tells us that not all of these possibilities are likely to become reality.
The goal of this report is to survey emerging graphene technologies and
applications, identify those that are most likely to achieve significant
commercial sales in the next 5 years to 10 years, and develop quantitative
estimates of potential sales.
The report's specific objectives support this broad goal. These objectives
include identifying the graphene technologies and applications with the
greatest commercial potential in the 2012-to-2022 time frame, identifying
market drivers and evaluating obstacles to their successful commercialization,
and projecting future sales.
INTENDED AUDIENCE
This report is intended especially for marketing executives, entrepreneurs,
investors, venture capitalists, and other readers with a need to know where
the emerging graphene market is headed over the next five to 10 years.
Although the report is organized around specific technologies, it is largely
nontechnical in nature and coverage. That is, it is concerned less with
theory and jargon than with what works, how much of the latter the market is
likely to purchase, and at what price.
The report has not been written specifically for scientists and technologists.
However, the report's findings concerning the market for their work,
including the availability of government and corporate research funding for
different technologies and applications, should interest this audience as well.
SCOPE AND FORMAT
The report addresses emerging global markets for graphene, including the
applications listed below:
- Computing/data processing.
- Data storage.
- Communications.
- Thermal management.
- Displays.
- Solar cells.
- Sensing and imaging.
- Capacitors.
- Structural materials.
- Miscellaneous other applications.
The study format includes and/or addresses the following major elements:
- Executive summary.
- Definitions.
- General properties of graphene.
- Historical milestones in the development of graphene.
- Emerging and developmental graphene technologies and applications that
have the greatest commercial potential through 2022.
- Detailed market estimates and projections for each application and
material during the period from 2012 to 2017.
- General assessment of expected market trends in the longer term (2017 to
2022).
- Companies that are producing or developing commercial graphene
applications.
- Patent analysis.
INFORMATION SOURCES AND METHODOLOGY
Projecting the market for emerging technologies, whose commercial potential
has not yet been proven, is a challenging task. This is nowhere more true
than in the graphene field, which may help to explain why many analysts focus
on supply-side technology assessments.
However, BCC's objective in this report is to provide not just a technology
assessment but also an initial assessment of the potential commercial market
for graphene. To accomplish this objective, BCC used a multiphase approach to
identify the graphene applications with the greatest commercial potential and
to quantify the related markets.
In the first phase of the analysis, BCC identified a long list of potential
graphene applications, including those that are still under development. In
the second phase, BCC eliminated those applications that appear to have little
likelihood of making it into commercial use in the next five to 10 years,
based on a literature review and interviews with industry sources. The result
of the second phase was a short list of graphene applications with the
greatest commercial potential over the time period covered by this report.
The third phase focused on quantifying the potential market for each
application on the resulting list and identifying the main prerequisites for
commercial success. Phase three actually had two components: (1) the
development of near-to-mid-term (2012 to 2017) projections, and (2) the
development of longer-term (2017 to 2022) projections. The development of
such long-term projections is a departure from the usual BCC report format,
necessitated by the long time frame for commercialization of many of the
technologies analyzed in this report. Obviously, the projections for the
years beyond 2017 are more tentative than the projections for 2012 to 2017.
The specific assumptions and approaches that BCC used to develop the
projections (both near/mid-term and long-term) for each graphene application
are documented in detail under the various applications addressed. This way,
readers can see how the market estimates were developed and, if they so
desire, test how changing the underlying assumptions would impact the final
numbers.
One of the approaches used by BCC deserves special mention here. Particularly
in the case of graphene applications that are still under development, BCC
used the sales performance of non-graphene applications that share some of the
same functions or other characteristics of the graphene application as a
benchmark for assessing the latter's sales potential.
